Displaying posts from owned facebook with the PHP SDK - php

Question

So I admittedly am quite new to the facebook Graph api, but what I want to do feels like it should be doable.
All I want to do is display posts from a facebook page that is owned by me on a website.
Now I should say that I have achieved this with the api and the php sdk already, but its all of the access token stuff that is perplexing me, I just want a permanent access token so that I don't have to renew it in anyway.
Any help would be much appreciated

Answer 1

Just in case anyone landed on this question and was looking for direction on this subject too
$client = array(
"id" => {APP_ID},
"secret" => {APP_SECRET},
"token" => {ACCESS_TOKEN}, // Generated from the graph api explorer, with the 'manage_posts' extended permission ticked
"page" => {PAGE_ID}
);
FacebookSession::setDefaultApplication($client['id'], $client['secret']);
$session = new FacebookSession($client['token']);
try
{
$response = (new FacebookRequest($session, 'GET', '/oauth/access_token?grant_type=fb_exchange_token&client_id='.$client['id'].'&client_secret='.$client['secret'].'&fb_exchange_token='.$client['token']))->execute();
$results = $response->getGraphObject();
$data = $results->asArray();
$token = $data['access_token'];
$response = (new FacebookRequest($session, 'GET', '/'.$client['page'].'?fields=access_token'))->execute();
$results = $response->getGraphObject();
$data = $results->asArray();
echo "Access Token: ".$data['access_token']; // this is your never expiring access token
}
catch (FacebookRequestException $e) {
print_r($e);
}
catch (\Exception $e) {
print_r($e);
}
Obviously I do not recommend doing this in any form of production environment, but if you are in a local environment and just need the access token, feel free to use this to find out the access token.
